iMPROVIEiMEN'I' IN EMB ROIDERING-MACHINE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesain'e.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, Hanan-inn BERG-ER, of Marthalen, canton of Zurich,Switzerland, have invented a new and impibved MultipleEmbroidering-Machine; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification. -Figure 1 represents a side view, partly in section, ofmyimproved embroidering-machine. Figure 2 is an end view of the same.Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding The object of thisinvention is to construct an emother fabric, in such manner that" one ormore pairs of curtains or other articles can at once he embroid- 1 credthereon, with the design in reverse. Thereby a very large amount oflabor is saved, as, in the machinery heretoforc in use, but one singlepiece could he treated, and, as for the reverse position required onevery pair of curtains, new designs had to be gotten up. My inventionconsists in providing the swinging sewing-frame with one or more pairsof needles, and with one or more pairs of hooks, or their equivalents,one needle of each pair working from above, and the other from below thepiece of fabric which is to be embroidered by it. i A separate sheet offabric is stretched on a fixed or adjustable frame between every needleand its hook. Both pairs move simultaneously, and as one embroidersits-fabric on the upper side, the other applies the ornamentation to theunder side, both actions, however, being regulated by themotionof theswinging frame.;- Then the same design is applied to both fabrics, oneto the upper and the other to the under side, thereby the design isreversed-on the two.

an embroideringsmachine. k

It has on its inner end projecting lugs a a, by means of which it ispivoted to a suitable stationary frame.

A vertical shaft, B, hung in the frame A, is in line whatever directionthe said frame may be turned.

sidewise between 0 andt, as shown in fig. 1. r

Each of these bars has at its outer end a vertical arm, f, and theseseveral arms have horizontal lugs in which the several vertical tubes,0, D, and-E E, are hung to revolve in their bearings.

The tube 0 is held on the upper arm 0, the tube D on the lower arm e,and the tubes E E on the mid dle arnrd, some distance apart.

The axes of the four aforesaid tubes are all in line with each other,and all the tubes, except E, carry toothed wheels, g y, that mesh intosimilar wheels 7 on horizontal axles F, which are again geared intowheels hon a vertical axle, G.

The tubes E E carry pinions, i i, that mesh. both i into other pinions,j, of an arbor, 1t.

Thusall the four tubes are connected with each other, arid all willtherefore turn on their own axes in the same direction, andsimultaneously when one is turned.

H H are the embroidcring-hooks. They are pivoted to cars that projectfrom the ends of the tubes,

to oscillate them simultaneously;

L L are the two needles,-fitted respectively into holders M M that areplaced through the tubes The holder M receives reciprocating motion fromlevers N N that are acted upon by eccentrics on shafts O 0, said shaftsgearing also into B.

Thus the needles and the hooks are moved simultaneously.

The needles are moved in the same direction; that is to say, both movehp at the same time, and down also.

A small shield, P; is arranged on the armf of c, I

around the needle L, and oneon the armf of 0, around the needle L, eachserving to hold the stretched fabric the proper distance from the hook.

A separate sheet of fabric is stretched between each needle and itshook.

As the machine is set in operation, the needles a'pply their' threads totheir respective fabrics; the upper needle L applies its thread to theupper surface of the fabric, and the lower needle applies its thread tothe lower surface, both hooks formingthe requisite stretches on thesides opposite to the needles.

Either one of the needles can be thrown out of gear by means of suitablelevers.

\Vhen the fabric is stretched in the two places, and a patternabovethe'upper fabric, the frame A is swung on its pivot-s to carry theneedle along the required lines.

' The design is then embroidered in reverse order on both fabrics.

I do not claim the mechanism for making the stitches, nor the frame A,nor anything inthe construction of the machinery on this apparatus.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A multiple embroidering-maohine, substantially such as described,provided with one or more pairs of books and needles working from aboveand below the cloth, in order to apply the same design in reverse orderto two 'or more pieces of fabric, substantially as herein shown tnddescribed.

2. The combination with each other of the two embroidering-hooks H Hattached to thegrod I, so as to move simultaneously below and abovesheets of fabric, as set forth.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 30th day ofJune, A. D. 1869.
